NAME
pob-fec - receive FEC MP3 streams
SYNOPSIS
pob-fec [ -s address ] [ -p port ] [ -b size ] [ -q ]
DESCRIPTION
pob-fec receives a FEC MP3 stream using a custom protocol. The streamed
MP3 frames are first decomposed in autonomous data units (ADUs). These
ADUs are grouped into ADU groups, which are encoded redundantly using a
FEC method by Luigi Rizzo. For example, a group if 8 ADUs can be
encoded into 16 packets. Any 8 received packets of these 16 packets is
sufficient to recover the original 8 ADUs. The incoming MP3 stream is
decoded, buffered and written to stdout.
OPTIONS
-s address
Specify the address to listen to (default 224.0.1.23). If the
address is a multicast address, group membership is requested
automatically.
-p port
Specify the port to listen to.
-b size
Specify the number of ADU groups that are hold in the buffer
(default 16).
-q Don’t output any information on standard error.
EXAMPLES
pob-fec -s 224.0.1.24 -p 8989 | mpg123 -
Receive the MP3 FEC stream sent to 224.0.1.24 on port 8989 and
feed it into the MP3 decoder mpg123.
